In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Being 'impartial' is just a smokescreen. Facist behaviour and language must be called out!

"It's patently clear that some of the people who're involved in current politics…are borrowing some of the tactics of the 1920s and 1930s." Yale History professor Timothy Snyder says some of today's politicians have learned propaganda techniques from twentieth century fascists.

Racial slavery was a cornerstone of capitalism. It is not that racial slavery laid the foundation for capitalism, rather racial slavery, the plantation slave economy, the African slave trade were themselves practices of capitalism via @mailandguardian

Black Lives Matter – turning point at a historic moment – The Mail & Guardian

The protests that have taken place in the United States confront the racialised edifice that built the modern world

Today lets thank and remember leading Abolitionists The Sons of Africa, Britains first black political organisation, for campaigning to end chattel slavery and for thier relentless activism against perpetual injustice.

The Sons of Africa - Historic UK

The Sons of Africa were a abolitionist group formed in the late 1700s by freed slaves in London. They worked closely with The Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, founded by Granville Sharp...
